I was eager to hike here on my quest to experience urban hiking areas- not exactly urban in the town of Cambria, but well placed within town. There are a variety of trails- on the cliffs above ocean, in the forest, along the Santa Rosa River and through fields. My only criticism is that the less popular trails and junctions are not marked and there are quite a few small tracks that I wasn't sure if they were trails or not. The Preserve doesn't want us to go off trail, but it is confusing to know if you are on the correct trail. I found the Eastern trails to be a lot more confusing to follow- even using their trail map and the town map. Still had fun.

It is such a beautiful and serene walk. It's almost like walking back through time in another country. Sea and untouched land (if you don't notice the homes far way). Every time we visit Cambria, we always take our little doggies for the walk, even if it's rainy or windy. It's too beautiful not to take the walk. I just put on my serene music and walk. Nothing compares.
